Okay, so I've decided to include Danzig Legacy and Puscifer into the tournament, each of which will be taking the place of a Bonnaroo artist. Danzig will be replacing Mac Miller in the tournament because Mac Miller is the only person in the tournament for Bonnaroo without a single point in the Bonnaroo power ranking thread. As for Puscifer, I put them in the place of Danny Brown, because he was the second lowest scorer in the Power Ranking thread and also his match against City and Colour had the most "no votes" in the Win-In Tournament. Puscifer will not be a 16 seed, however, as I will be pushing other artists into lower spots.

With regard to the other four, The Cave Singers are too low on the lineup. Fun. has that one catchy song, but let's be honest has no real shot. There is very little buzz about them since the announcement. Santigold is high enough in the lineup to be in the tournament, and I can fit her in on Coachella's side if need be because she will be at both fests. I think we are just going to shaft Santigold and Temper Trap as its doubtful they would get past the 2nd round anyway.

FYI its slightly easier to count votes if you put the bands number beside them. Its not a requirement, but its just easier. Not a big deal.

Also, there are some blow-outs and there are some very close matches so far. All but two are within six votes, three within four votes, and one is completely tied. I'm honestly surprised by these scores.
